The Portland center grew to include a 21,000 sq. ft. arts center, an outdoor plaza, an arts park, a gas kiln, and parking lots. Within the center facility stands Hall-Moser Theatre, Galleries, Goodrich Hall, visual arts and music studios, and meeting rooms.

Arts Place, Portland Center houses a 283-seat theatre with superior acoustics, excellent lighting, and a state-of-the-art sound system. The theatre is complimented by a large supporting space that includes an assembly area, rehearsal room, stage shop, and dressing rooms. Programming for the theatre includes Arts Place’s own performance series, productions by two local community theatre companies, and presentations by a number of other area organizations.

The facility features over 1,500 sq. ft. of exhibit space, including the Hugh N. Ronald Gallery, Gallery East, and Gallery West. Exhibits change every six to eight weeks. Our Exhibits Program focuses on the work of living Midwestern Artists. Other exhibits include interpretive shows and an annual regional student exhibit.

Educational programming is the cornerstone of Arts Place. Reflecting our priorities, the facility includes six music studios, a rehearsal room, two large visual arts studios, a kiln building with a 3,000-pound gas kiln, and an outdoor demonstration space.

While Arts Place is designed as an arts facility, it is also makes an excellent location for meetings and conferences. Goodrich Hall can seat up to 200 for dinner. In addition, Hall-Moser Theatre is an excellent space for lectures and audio-visual presentations. Additional meeting rooms allow a group to conduct up to five simultaneous workshops or breakout sessions. Ample parking is available in close proximity to Arts Place, with convenient drop-off and loading zones.
